Lighthizer determined to land 'real agreement' with China, U.S. Chamber chief says

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer told top business executives that there is still much work to be done to reach a trade deal with China

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer told top business executives on Monday that there is still much work to be done to reach a trade deal with China despite the two sides having been close to an agreement earlier this year, said U.S. Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue.

Deputy-level trade officials from the U.S. and China will meet on Friday to prepare for an early October meeting between Lighthizer, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Chinese Vice Premier Liu He and other senior Chinese officials. “He was pretty clear that we have to do this one step at a time but that this has to be real agreement,” Donohue said, referring to Lighthizer.
